You have a problem. You are running out of M&Ms (the candy). Originally, you had 200 small pieces. Last week, you got a little excited and ate 151 pieces of your original amount in one week (7 days). You are determined to last the remaining M&Ms for exactly one more week. If you eat the same amount every day, how many pieces will you be able to eat each day?

Create an equation to show how you would find the number of M&M pieces you could now have each day.
What is the answer to your equation in part 1? What steps did you take to solve your equation?
Please explain how you know your equation is correct.
